I`m not planning on selling one of my oldies either anytime soon but I don`t want a blood bath down the road when I do.
I know it`s an expensive hobby but the sport of Kings?

Heck if I didn't have a drinking problem fixing old trucks would cost alot less.
One thing I found out on my 1969 I painted the hood with a Power Fist paint gun HVLC , and what a POS. smitty **** job, did the rest of the truck with a roller and I'm happy.
I did have luck with Devil Bliss though in the past.

You get what you pay for with tools. Sometimes low quality tools will work well for a job though.

I'll admit it though I don't got the patience to do layers of paint then fine sanding I don't need to win car shows, it may be a good gun if used in layers and prob set up properly.

Ok my new plan though with the 58 I'll be switching to a red/black combo, It is easy but I would have to send the doors in for painting aince the top half is to be red and bottom half black.

Nothing to it, paint the white first and when it`s dry mask and paint the red so it doesn`t bleed through like it would if you painted the red first.
